The Huthi movement in Yemen has attacked two American warships in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The two American destroyers repelled the drone attacks, according to the American defense headquarters Pentagon.
The attack from the Islamist movement, which has taken control of large areas of land in Yemen, consisted of eight drones and eight rockets of two different types, according to Pentagon spokesperson Pat Ryder.
The Huthi movement, like the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, is supported by Iran. The attacks on ships in the Red Sea began on October 19 last year and are part of the broader conflict in the Middle East following the terrorist-stamped Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 last year.
